I've been following Jeremy's project as well. It looks super clean. I've seen an 80 series that's been converted, and an XJ. Seems like they use prius/nissan leaf parts mostly and they do okay.
Range is the biggest problem though. The way I see it, EVs fit the Rock Crawler use case pretty good (unload from a trailer, run a technical, 10-mile trail with a lot of sitting around and watching other people roll over). Overland is really limited by range though. Towing doesn't even seem to be an option.
Its a neat rig and its surprised me a few times by just rolling over stuff. A guy named Ken runs a youtube channel called OffroadHub. He's basically built an FJC about as big as reasonably possible. Kinda nuts what they can do.

Let's do it.
That's exactly what happened for me. I follow this on Mastodon and saw your post finally show up today.
Its certainly featured on Matt's YouTube channel frequently... that dude is one of the reasons I own an XJ instead of a GMC Yukon.
Looks like a fun place! Thanks for sharing.
Welcome. Fantastic photo. :) Got any more?
Hmm…. Photo didn’t make it. Lemmy is hurting right now….
Ellie always gets BBQ. ;)
Thanks!
That's not ideal. Glad they got a recall out. I need to issue a recall for my XJ for the same reason, because of stuff I did lol.
Thanks! I'll have to post more photos. ;)
Thanks!
Thanks for the tip. That's super useful.
Thanks!

Thanks! It certainly does.
Great photo! What a view. Colorado has scenery like no other.
My favorite Tundra. My dad owns one of those (basically a stock-looking, white version of yours). That truck will probably live longer than me.
This was shot with a full moon behind me. I was happy to get the unique moonlit landscape with some faint milky way at the same time.
Haha wow. What an effective way to describe it.
